Some Newcastle United fans on Twitter are loving what Mehrdad Ghodoussi has tweeted.
It’s been more than a month since Ghodoussi – and wife Amanda Staveley – became part owners at Newcastle.
Away from the pitch there’s been a number of very exciting developments, even if the Magpies are scrapping for their Premier League lives on the field.
The new owners are fiercely popular on Tyneside after ousting the villainous Mike Ashley after 14 years.
Ghodoussi posted a photo of his son wearing his new Magpies shirt, with the face blocked out for privacy reasons.
Here’s how some fans of the St James’s Park club responded on Twitter:
Relegation battle
Newcastle are rock bottom of the Premier League table, having failed to win any of their 12 games this season.
And their relegation battle gets no easier because tomorrow afternoon, Eddie Howe’s side are away to Arsenal.
Okay the Gunners lost 4-0 at Liverpool last weekend but, on overall form, the Gunners will certainly fancy themselves to beat United at the Emirates.
Even worse, Howe, Newcastle’s new head coach, is likely to be absent again after returning a positive covid test last week.
Winning at Arsenal is hard enough, but doing it without your manager on the sidelines is even more difficult for the North-East club.
Newcastle’s next three games after Saturday are home to Norwich City and Burnley, though.
Those are much bigger matches but anything less than two wins from their next three outings and you’d really fear for them.
